Chapter 439 - 427: The Leader's Appearance
Selene was lost in thought, so she hadn't seen when her next subordinate moved. By the time she took notice of this, her subordinate was winding up an attack. It was the most strong after her; he had strong build, two meters tall with bulging muscles, he had the nickname the strongman or Iron body. The man was so powerful that he needed only a single hand to
swing his solid iron hammer around. In addition, despite being a strongman, he was also fast enough to keep up with Darn and Paul. All in all, he was a competent member of this fighting force.
Taking advantage of the brief moment during which the woman was occupied with the daggers, Rowan lifted his hammer as high as he could before slamming it down with every ounce of strength he could muster. The blow had
.enough power to shatter armor and pulverize shields.
Even so, Sakuya showed no sign of panic; calmly, she said while green light covered her arm.
"Oh, are we perhaps doing a strength competition this time?" The amusement in her tone couldn't be hidden; it was like a game to her.
The hammer, with all its supposed destructive power, was easily stopped by the woman, with nothing more than a single one of her thin, shapely arms, no less. Selene was too shocked to have noticed the small green light covering Sakuya's hand.
"Not that I mind, though. All right, I'll play along."
There wasn't a single bead of sweat on her forehead when she said this; on the contrary, the corners of Sakuya's mouth lifted into a smile.
"HAAAAAAHHHHH!"
On the other side, Roman roared at the top of his lungs while pressing the hammer down so
hard that his veins were visible on his bulky arms. Even so, the hammer would even not budge as if gripped by an iron claw.
Selene couldn't help but blurt out her surprise.
"That's impossible. Roman's Rank 7 with 800 ATK points meaning his strength is strong enough-"
Selene didn't even finish what she was saying before Sakuya stopped her and said.
"Is that so? Hmm, so this is what an 800 ATK can do, huh?"
''Well, mine is about 1000. Time to wrap things up; I'm getting tired of this.'' Sakuya added, the last part was muttered inaudibly.
As she said that, fissures spidered across the surface of Roman's huge hammer. They spread quickly, cracking loudly as they went. An instant later, the entire weapon crumbled into pieces. The only thing left behind was Sakuya, who still had her right hand lifted, and Roman, who was still holding onto the handle, now reduced to nothing more than a mere stick.
As Selene watched, it slowly slipped from Roman's grip, after which his huge bulk also crumpled to the ground. With him lying not too far from her, she could see that his chest had completely caved in, his heart crushed.
Selene had not gotten over her shock before Sakuya, who had now turned into devil's moved; she quickly passed through the remaining men.
Bang! Bang! Crack! Crack!
Every time she moved her slender ar,m a bang sound was heard,d followed by the sickening sounds of crushed bones and hearts rupturing; it was instant death.
Finally, Selene started to tremble violently; she dropped her ax and took a step back.
''Wh-Who are you...?!" She fearfully asked. She was the only one left; elven men were dispatched in an instant.
''Well, I'ma simple weak woman with the hobby of crushing ants, I guess?"
"Why is your answer a question?! You've got to be fucking with me. No, I have not lost; I still have my hidden force, my Mages hiding in the dark. Although you are strong, you will die once they make a move, yeah, I-I'm sure of it. Hehehehe!"
It seemed that fear had broken something within Selene's mind, and she started laughing. If she were in a rational state of mind, she would have thought that there was no way the other two would nonchalantly sit back and watch; however, fear had erased any rationality from Selene's mind, she had become too desperate, she lost eleven men, she decided to sacrifice everything, she didn't care if what they once thought as merchandise was destroyed, she must avenge her slaughtered men.
''Rain fire on them.''
Selene threw her arm down, signaling for the descent of hell on earth.
"..."
However, no matter how long she waited, nothing came, so she was forced to blurt out.
"How much longer am I supposed to wait?"
"Uh..."
'That's strange. I repeated the signal several more times, but no spells came flying from behind. Don't tell me they all left us here to die and ran away by themselves?' Selene thought, she started sweating, it was then, someone she had utterly forgotten about appeared like a ghost beside her and whispered into her ear.
''If you are waiting for the eight hiding, then you should stop waiting because they died, all killed by the second girl beside me. In your next life, better be a good girl; I will not kill you right as you still have a use for me. For now, sleep.''
Bam!
Immediately after Alex was done talking, he gave the girl a huge chop in the neck, making her unconscious.
Thud!
Alex didn't care if Selene hit her head hard on the ground after losing consciousness, as this type of person deserves worse.
''Well done, Sakuya. Time to finish things and depart.'' Alex said and looked in a certain direction; it was the west of their current position.
''How long are you planning to stay hidden for?" Alex raised his voice; Sakuya waited silently beside him while Lilith gripped her sword's sheath, ready to intervene at any moment if anyone tried something funny.
There was a silence; nobody answered Alex's question for five minutes before finally someone appeared.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
''You are sure something, to dispatch my men and to be able to see me even when I was concealed. You have quite some skills; why not come works for me?"
The person who said this was a man in his middle thirties, black hair and brown eyes, he had a sharp nose, he was holding a long spear. From the man's words, he must be the leader of the Blackwater Bandits.
